What problem does it solve?
Writers of novels, short dramas, comics, and video scripts often struggle with openings that fail to grab readers, middles that stall, and endings that do not drive continued reading. This Skill diagnoses why a story opening underperforms and rewrites it with concrete, causally grounded hooks instead of cheap suspense tricks.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Hook Diagnosis: Extracts the protagonist's desire, obstacles, risks, secrets, and irreversible changes, then locates the first effective change in the opening and classifies the core problem (slow entry, disordered information, abstract stakes, or missing character choice).
- Three Candidate Directions: Designs three hook directions with different mechanisms, explains the trade-offs of each, and recommends the one that best fits the original tone.
- Faithful Rewriting: Performs a localized rewrite that preserves the original person, tense, core settings, and character voice, while checking that mid-story payoffs and ending escalations are causally connected.
- Use Case: A short-drama writer pastes their first episode script and asks why viewers drop off in the first minute; the Skill identifies that the opening lacks a concrete change, proposes three hook mechanisms, and delivers a revised opening with an explanation of every change.
Quick Start
Ask the agent to diagnose and rewrite the opening hook of your story draft, keeping the original voice and explaining each change.
